Since 1986, the British band, Manic Street Preachers, is going to take a long break: "Everyone is tired of us, even my mom," says bassist Nicky Wire.
Manic Street Preachers appeared in Finland for the first time in 1999 and now 15 years later Flow - a festival of their audience is already in the second and third generation of fans.
"Our fans bring their their children and grandchildren to our gigs. At some point, we will definitely get a point when we no longer appeal to the youth, but the younger audience now gives us power and fresh ideas," says bassist Nicky Wire.
The 45 -year old bassist says the band wants a long break after the tour. The band has released two disks in a short time, and Wire finds that the idea of storage has been out of date . He says they've been too much everywhere.
"Everyone is surely tired of us. Even my mum, who loves everything I do, no longer cares about our new stories," the bassist jokes.
As a young man, Nicky Wire wanted to be either a journalist or a writer, but ended up with a musician. Wire wants to bring unfairness out and fight against, for example, capitalism through music.
The hatred of injustice, capitalism and exploitation has kept Wire in the band together.
"Anger is a glue that keeps us together . We can no longer change the course of bad things, but we can write and make music."
The band has also been involved with Wire because they have experienced a great deal of pain and survived. In 1995, the pain caused by the band's guitarist Richey James Edwards' disappearance. A man's car was discovered that year at the bridge, but no man was ever found . In 2008, he was declared dead.
"The whole world needs Richey . He was the best speaker I know . We made lyrics with him and it was always magical," Nicky Wire says sadly.
The whole band loved the more guitarist.
"His disappearance is something you just have to live with . We will never know what happened," Wire adds.
Nicky Wire says that the latest Futurology - album they have received the best reviews of his career by critics.
"Artistically, we have certainly already achieved everything we can. Our new album will look at Europe through art and will cover, among other things, Germany and Russia," Wire says.
The bassist says the band has been blessed in the sense that Finns have always loved the band's music.
"The Finns fans are hardcore. They listen prefer heavier songs, and carries receiving our music, among other things, The Holy Bible. I really appreciate our fans," Wire says.
